CyTec Systems UK Ltd
Cytec Systems began trading in the UK and Ireland in 1997 and has grown into one of the leading
suppliers of hydraulic cylinders to the mould and die industry. Its range of products now covers both
the Cytec range and the AHP Merkle range of standard hydraulic cylinders.
CyTrac Units An automatic screw, with many uses where machine parts have to be automatically
coupled. A special version has been developed for body framing in the automotive industry.
CyDock: Special coupling device that locks without pre-load.
CyFit Fluid couplings
CyTab: Pallet clamping system
CyMill Patented 2 axis milling heads that use direct drive motors. They are subject to virtually no
wear and ensure constant precision in the machining result. The simplified, symmetrical design gives
high stability and rigidity of the system because all the elements, drives, bearings and spindles are
perfectly matched. This applies both for rough machining, in which the axes can be hydraulically
clamped in any position, as well as for high-speed finishing.
CySpeed Range of motor spindles for milling and turning applications, where asynchronous motors
can be combined with all common control systems.
CyTurn Rotary tables that use direct drive motors. Cytec offers a range of tables for milling, turning
AHP Merkle specialises in the production of hydraulic block cylinders and
standard cylinders. There is a large range of different models with a
variety of switching options.
They are ideal for incorporating into mould tools as well as special
purpose machines. In addition, AHP Merkle’s range of block cylinders
gives the tool designer the ability to modify the stroke to suit the design.
All cylinders can be supplied with switches indicating forward and
retracted positions; and all piston rods are
hardened ground and chromed ensuring a long life for the cylinder. 3D
CAD data is available from the website. AHP Merkle stands for 100%
quality, flexibility and continuous innovations. The range embraces:
Block Cylinders, Push Units, AHP Standard Cylinders, DIN Standard
Cylinders, Core Pull Units, Short-Stroke Cylinders, Cube Cylinders,
Flanged Cylinders, Double-Lined Cylinders, Circular Block Cylinders,
Hydraulic Cylinders with external guide, Screw In Cylinders, Stamping
Cylinders, Block Cylinders with non rotating piston rod, Rotating Clamp Units, Rotary Drive Units,
Block Cylinders with wedge clamping element or guide element.
As well as quality, flexibility and continuous innovations are at the heart of the company, which aims
to set the future in motion with its fine products. “We’ll stake our reputation on it.”
Its website includes a link to its ahp.book This is the complete ahp-program in one book,
including valuable information about how to select and order a cylinder, Tips and Tricks for
cylinder assembling and application. The integrated CD with the latest CAD-Data for all cylinders
simplifies the design work.

Many cylinders are available from stock or on short lead times. Full CAD data is available for all
cylinders. The range includes:
CyBlock
This range of locking cylinders is designed for use with moving side cores
on mould tools.
Once locked the cylinders hold far higher forces than conventional
cylinders, without the need to
maintain hydraulic pressure. The HS version locks with preload. The HDD
and HSD versions are
for pressure die cast moulds.
CyPull
Based on the successful CyPull cylinder the CyBlock is a locking
cylinder with a body
design the same as a conventional block cylinder. This allows easy
mounting and adjusting to the
mould tool.
Others in the clamping technology range:
The complete Cytec range
As well as locking cylinders Cytec produce a range of clamping and coupling devices which have
found many applications for system automation whether in the plastic moulding industry or car
production plants. Cytec also works closely with the machine tool industry with the patented range
of 2 Axis Direct Drive Milling Heads (CyMill), Motor Spindles (CySpeed) and Direct Drive Rotary
Tables (CyTurn).
